I'm trying to identify the revolver shown in these photos. I believe it's a .45 based on the size of the bore.
Is it a Model 10 or variant? Is it even a S&W? I appreciate your help in advance.

ETA: Made by both S&W and Colt.

Ding ding. Colt made a M1917 but it was not exactly the same. A 45 revolver with 5 inch barrel I think and a lanyard loop. Broad spec for quick order fulfillment.

The top photo is S&W 1917 45 revolver. The second photo looks to be another S&W 1917 revolver. The S&W had a half moon front sight where the colt had a different profile and the difference is easy to distinguish.

According to a source I just read through, the Webley variant had a shroud on the right side of the ejector rod.

Some 455's did ( the so called triple
Locks) but the majority did not
Definitely s&w definitely not the common 38/200 ( looks too big like you said) so either a 45 auto or 455

Perhaps the best clue to what it is is in the first picture - while blurred the guy next to the revolver holder is cleaning a Thompson- so the likelihood it is a 1917 in 45 auto is much more likely
